So the idea of doing this all from afar is a bit daunting, however, I know the most important thing here will be to create a great team and outsource as much as possible.I have set my sights on a couple of different markets being in the Southeast and the Midwest; these markets seem to provide the cash flow I am initially interested in generating to value add to the properties I purchase.

However, other factors will matter, and the rates of taxation are different for different components of this Step 3 result.

That is a big difference in the amount of wear and tear on a property.

That is different as I live in MA and we don't do that here.

I went to 35-40+ different markets a year each year from 2014-2016 to scope out places to lend privately.

The reason I post this here is because I got totally different answers from two CPAsHere is the story:I bought the house as investment property and run it as STR for the last two years.

So, when investing in areas they don’t really know, investors should research the different property Class submarkets.

now, if you want to buy an STR as an investment, and you NEED the income to support it, that's totally different...

Each night of the week has a different price based on market trends for short term stays, not annual leases. 

This can be the difference between setting goals and achieving them.
